Bad Blood

In the shadowed streets of Hong Kong, a sudden arrest and execution of the ruling triad’s boss in mainland China rattles the criminal underworld, leaving a vacant throne and a simmering power vacuum. The film opens on a city where loyalty is as fluid as the neon‑lit alleys, and every whispered deal feels like the prelude to a larger upheaval. The atmosphere is taut with anticipation, blending gritty realism with the stylised pulse of a modern gangster saga.

At the heart of the emerging scramble is Funky, a veteran operator whose calm demeanor masks a strategic mind honed by years of navigating treacherous alliances. He is surrounded by a close‑knit crew: the eager and street‑smart Calf, the imposing muscle of Hung, the quick‑witted Kong, and the loyal enforcer Andy Lok. Their relationships are a web of respect, rivalry, and unspoken codes, each character bringing a distinct edge that fuels the tension as they each contemplate what the throne might mean for them.

Across the divide, Audrey Lok steps into the spotlight, the sister of the fallen boss who now finds herself thrust into a labyrinth of legal maneuvering and familial expectation. Guided by the pragmatic counsel of Peter Wong and the seasoned insight of the elder ally Zen, she confronts the dual pressures of preserving her family’s legacy while navigating the ruthless ambitions that swirl around her. Her resolve hints at a transformation that could reshape the balance of power.

The film’s tone is relentless yet nuanced, casting the triad world as a sleek, dangerous chessboard where every move is watched by both allies and hidden adversaries. With a palette of rain‑slick streets, cramped hideouts, and looming corporate facades, the story promises a tense exploration of honor, greed, and the cost of ambition—all set against the relentless rhythm of a city that never sleeps.
